In other words, blue states have been subsidizing red states. The federal government is like a giant sump pump – pulling dollars out of California, New York, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Michigan – and sending them to places like Montana, Idaho, Oklahoma, Arizona, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, and the Old South.

Before I reveal the author, let me repeat my pitch. The Western states, the Great Lakes and NYC fund our central government, but lose the most. They also have much less representation in the Senate. What are the progressives worried about? High unemployment and poverty in the states the fund central government. Which states are likely to gain the most from stimulus? The small red states. Get it? The stimulus is and was skewed.
What all this is leading up to is Robert Reich, the author of the quote. He is finally starting to get the problem. Perhaps other progressives will listen to his insight!
